I am a refuge from X
Leaving behind Musk and his minions.
(And my 18K followers)
Keeping a clean conscience though...
And secretly planning a revolution.

I actually know some of the answer. Night watchmen often made some money at the end of their shifts on their way home. I'm guessing the rest had cockerels or weak bladders.

Unknown to Lissa, Miles and the Agency, the death of Louis and Johnathan Campeau has caused the Brocklehurst Organisation to lose its tenuous foothold in Britain. This results in a mad scramble to fill the void.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

I remember this episode well, I must have watched it a thousand times and, to this day, I couldn't relate more to Alan Harper.📚

#Booksky #TwoAndAHalfMen #ReadingCommunity #WritingCommunity

Episode from Two and a Half Men.

Alan and Charlie Harper are in a bookshop and Alan is having a breakdown:

Look at them all. They're mocking me.
I haven't read any of them.

There's not enough time. There's too many books and not enough time.
